9 Las Vegas Restaurants with Dog-Friendly Patios You’ll Both Love

If you’ve ever tried to soak up a Vegas afternoon with your dog in tow, you already know the struggle: scorching sidewalks, “service animals only” signs, and patios that claim to be pet-friendly but won’t even spare a paper cup of water. Yet hidden among the neon and desert heat are a handful of spots that genuinely welcome four-legged guests — often with shade sails, misters, and full-blown dog menus. From laid-back brewpubs in the Arts District to a leafy porch in old-school Midtown, these patios prove you don’t have to leave your best friend behind to enjoy good food and that famous Vegas sunshine. Below are nine of our favorites, complete with full street addresses so you can punch them straight into your maps app and hit the road.

Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar — Downtown Summerlin

Address: 1725 Festival Plaza Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89135

If you and your dog are already regulars at Downtown Summerlin, you’ve probably spotted the shaded, string-lit patio outside Lazy Dog — and if you haven’t, add it to your weekend to-do list pronto. The sprawling terrace is fully covered, cooled by ceiling fans, and lined with sturdy water bowls that show up before the drink menu even hits your table. Inside the kitchen, chefs whip up a surprisingly expansive menu of American comfort classics (think crispy deviled eggs, pot-roast dip sandwiches, and a brunch lineup that starts with churro French toast). Outside, meanwhile, they’re busy grilling chicken breasts and beef patties just for pups, then serving the spoil-your-dog combo over brown rice and veggies on its own platter — no awkward “do you mind if I split this burger with him?” conversation required. Lazy Dog stays open until midnight all week, which means you can slide in for a late margarita after a ball-chasing session at the nearby park and still have time to order your four-legged friend a second round off the dog menu.

Makers & Finders Coffee — Arts District & Downtown Summerlin

Addresses:
• 1120 S Main St Ste 110, Las Vegas, NV 89104
• 2120 Festival Plaza Dr Unit 140, Las Vegas, NV 89135

Few places capture that laid-back, neighborhood-hangout vibe quite like Makers & Finders — and both patios are set up so your dog can enjoy the scene as much as you do. Each location (funky brick-and-mural building on Main Street in the Arts District, sleek glass corner in Downtown Summerlin) comes with about fifteen café tables plus patches of artificial turf that stay cool even when the sidewalk starts to sizzle. Order a horchata cold brew or an arepa benedict for yourself and a complimentary “pup-uccino” (read: whipped-cream shot) for your co-pilot, then settle in to watch urban life drift by. Because the shops close by late afternoon, a stop at Makers pairs naturally with a morning walk or post-lunch stretch — just long enough for the humans to finish a dulce de leche latte and the dogs to lick the foam from their whiskers.

Park on Fremont — Fremont East

Address: 506 Fremont St, Las Vegas, NV 89101

If your dog’s favorite pastime is people-watching, park yourself — literally — on the vine-draped front patio at Park on Fremont. Sandwiched between neon murals and live-music venues, this gastropub looks straight onto the pedestrian carnival of Fremont Street, which means nonstop entertainment for pups and humans alike. Order a chicken-and-waffle sandwich or a towering truffle burger while staff circulate with pitchers of ice water and stainless bowls for every canine guest. The kitchen keeps late hours on weekends (serving until 10 p.m.), so you can soak up downtown’s electric energy without paying Strip prices or squeezing your dog through crowded casino corridors. Keep an eye on Park’s Instagram for surprise “treat-on-the-house” nights; management occasionally slips house-made bacon biscuits onto the dog menu just because.

7th & Carson — Downtown

Address: 616 E Carson Ave #110, Las Vegas, NV 89101

Tucked onto a leafy side street a block off Las Vegas Boulevard, 7th & Carson feels like a secret garden built for brunch enthusiasts and their adventurous eaters — of both the two- and four-legged variety. Two separate patios (one shaded, one more sun-splashed) give you options whether you’re chasing golden-hour photos or hiding from high noon in July. Inside, the wood-fired oven cranks out blistered flatbreads topped with prosciutto and hot honey, while pots of creamy shrimp pasta and bowls of veggie curry round out the menu. Outside, staff keep a stash of Milk-Bone biscuits behind the bar and never let water bowls run dry. With daily hours from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. (5 p.m. on Sundays), 7th & Carson hits the sweet spot for leisurely breakfasts, mid-afternoon cocktails, or an early supper before downtown really revs up.

18bin — Arts District Brewery Row

Address: 107 E Charleston Blvd Ste 150, Las Vegas, NV 89104

Part beer garden, part open-air living room, 18bin offers one of the largest dog-friendly terraces in the valley — an astroturf-lined sprawl where misters cut the desert heat and strings of Edison bulbs add a twilight glow. The human menu leans fun-and-shareable (truffle fries, fried-chicken sliders, vegan cauliflower “wings”), and the bar slings craft cocktails strong enough to stand up to a triple-digit afternoon. Dogs, however, get their own entrée list: “Brooklyn’s Beef Bowl” or “Nui’s Nibble Kibble,” both served in stainless dishes that your pup will demolish while you nurse a frozen mule. Show up on the third Thursday for Yappy Hour — discounted drinks for people, half-price dog meals, and enough wagging tails to qualify as a block party.

Nevada Brew Works — Arts District

Address: 1327 S Main St Ste 160, Las Vegas, NV 89104

Family-friendly to its core, Nevada Brew Works delivers old-school picnic vibes with checked tablecloths, rainbow umbrellas, and live acoustic sets most weekends. The brewery’s patio is big enough to park a handful of strollers alongside a parade of leashed dogs, and the staff will happily toss a plain burger patty on the grill if your canine companion gives them puppy-dog eyes. Pair that custom treat with a slice of Detroit-style pizza and a pint of Main Street Amber, then settle in beneath the misters for an afternoon that feels miles away from the casino floor — even though you’re smack in the middle of downtown’s Brewery Row.

Tacotarian — Downtown

Address: 1130 S Casino Center Blvd Ste 170, Las Vegas, NV 89104

Every inch of Tacotarian’s downtown patio screams “Instagram me” — from the bold murals to the shade sails overhead and the Wi-Fi that keeps humans scrolling while dogs pose with the onsite treat vending machine. Yes, vending machine: slide in a couple of quarters, crank the handle, and out pops a grain-free biscuit ready for its close-up. Inside, the 100 percent plant-based kitchen turns out more than twenty taco combos (cauliflower “al pastor,” mushroom carnitas) and some of the strongest margaritas in town. Outside, pups sprawl beneath the tables while their humans tackle salsa flights. With daily hours from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and three sister locations that also welcome dogs, Tacotarian makes it easy to eat your fill of cruelty-free comfort food without leaving your best friend behind.

Big Dog’s Brewing Co. — Northwest / Rancho

Address: 4543 N Rancho Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89130

Big Dog’s lives up to its name by treating canine customers like VIPs. The covered “Front Porch” patio comes with built-in leash hooks so you don’t have to play musical chairs with the table legs, and servers drop water bowls faster than you can say “porter please.” Humans dig into rib-eye sliders, cheddar-smothered nachos, and award-winning brown ales while live bands crank out classic-rock covers on Rib Night. Visit in October for DOGtoberfest, the brewery’s annual charity bash with bratwursts, steins, and local-rescue-dog kissing booths — because nothing pairs with a Märzen like puppy snuggles for a good cause.

Coffee Pub — Midtown / Sahara

Address: 2800 W Sahara Ave Ste 2A, Las Vegas, NV 89102

Las Vegans have been flocking to Coffee Pub since 1984 for one simple reason: it nails the basics. The roof-covered veranda plus bonus umbrella tables mean your pup can nap in the shade while you sip a fresh-squeezed OJ or a foamy cappuccino. Breakfast kicks off at 7 a.m. on weekdays — perfect timing for an early stroll before pavement temps skyrocket — followed by a lunch lineup that ranges from tuna-salad melts to honey-turkey wraps. Staff never blink at refilling dog bowls (or splitting sausage links in half if you ask nicely), and the mellow mid-Strip location makes Coffee Pub an easy rally point whether you’re coming from Downtown or Summerlin.
